We all know, the candidate wants to "fix Pacifica", and intends to do so; whereas you support the opposite.<br /><br />What I said again is Victor Spano, the candidate has "the right and obligation to his campaign to defend himself against slander and libel. It is also prudent to seek legal advisement over false representation, which you say you consider "nothing". What does that say about you?<br /><br />A campaign is an organization with supporters, a vision and financing, therein is the obligation. The Gang of No choice to cause political harm to this candidate who would "fix Pacifica" is irresponsible behavior, and should be viewed as such. Contrary to your comment, the <a href="http://fixpacifica.blogspot.com/2014/10/some-people-dont-want-to-fix-pacifica.html" rel="nofollow">Letter</a> was not simple, was not harmless, and appears to have been part of a convoluted strategy to target this city council candidate at a critical time in the campaign: voting by mail.<br /><br />This is not about a candidate who "can't take a hit", the "hit" intent was terminal. Nevertheless, I think he'll survive. As for the phone call made from the candidate (Spano) to the LTE perpetrator (Nathanson), my immediate response was "brilliant", exactly the right thing to do. Hopefully the public will see through this wicked or evil Gang of No charade, and vote for none of your NIMBY candidates.

His action and comments are reasonable and accountable, the kind of request any smart individual, good candidate, business or corporation would make.<br /><br />Those of us who are interested in a better city with an improved infrastructure will vote for him."<br /><br />This is one of the most ridiculous posts I've read on Fix Pacifica in a long time. A "right and obligation" to sue over absolutely nothing? A person who has willingly become a public figure by becoming a candidate? Can't take a simple letter to the editor? Places an inappropriate phone call to a citizen of the community? The article should hav had a picture of a frying pan and the heading "if you can't take the heat, get out of the fire" with Mr. Spano jumping out of it. <br /><br />Absolutely not the type of person that should hold elected office.

Did someone advise him to do that? Did they suggest he mention a lawyer or did he come up with that himself? Any desire to clear the air took a back seat when he mentioned lawyer. He wanted to silence his critic, first and foremost. I think he got real bad advice from someone, but he made the call. He's lucky that no mention of the call appeared in The Tribune, today, and he somehow managed not to entangle himself in his short rebuttal to the letter.
